Had great seasons at a lower leagueCame to Real Madrid and disappointed for a season and two thirdsEnjoyed one third of a good season

And you think he should be living off his time at Lyon?

Diego forlan sucked this season, does it mean he is a bad player? Also benzema is proven in CL and shows up in big games generally

U cant really compare the scenarios of Forlan and Benzema.Forlan is coming to the end of his career whereas Benzema is yet to peak and relatively unproven for Madrid.Its like comparing Pirlo and Gourcuff.

here is my list of those who are equal or better than the benz in random order. if u dont see for example "torres" on this list, means "torres" is inferior to benzema.-----------------------------------------------------Higuain (inferior in cl territory however)HulkFalcaoTevez (though hes a nutjob)Robin Van PersieEto'oMessiAguero (questionable)CavaniRooneyGomez-----------------------------------------------------only four are better than benz from the list above.I wud have liked to add Drogba but... right now im not sure about him anymore...

Messi Eto'o Van Persie Tevez Rooney thats 5 players who are unquestionably far better than Benzema on that list.ANd most would agree Aguero is better too.Not sure who are the ONLY FOUR that are better than Benzema.

lol i actually miscounted... u got some correct. the ones that are better than benz are : Messi, eto'o, RVP, Gomez, Rooney.

There is no way in this world Benzema is better than Tevez.Tevez may be a moaning b1tch but he is one of the best strikers in Europe ATM and is far better than Benzema.

i always lol @ the hate benz get for his 1 and 1/2 bad seasons, almost everyone forgot how highly rated he was before his transfer, even now some still say he has poor work rate when that is clearly a lie now

everyone still underrates his finishing for some reason tho, the kid is r9 heir

Yeah I hope so.

You can see lots of people doubt him right now, but I'll tell you what will happen. Goal after goal, when his statistics rack up to those critics' noses - one by one will start to acknowledge him - and we'll say

He's great now though so it's cool

remember higz first 2 seasons , raul: he(higz) is sh!t but that all forgotten

Don't know what you are talking about Higuain ended both his first two seasons awesomely.

i think it was on higz debut and he missed an easy chance, raul was commentating and call him sh*t off the mic, and higz first 2 season individually wasn't awesome either, higz broke out in his 3rd season

lol a commentator named Raulyou heard sid lowe wrong....the commentator for LaSextabut the Bernabeu still loved Higuain... everyone, despite him missing chances that season called him one of the best players for Madrid and he saved us 5 points with his 2 goals, which for an 19 year old from a different league aint too badi dont know what you expected at the time but i always thot Higuain was outstanding all the timehis development hasnt been meteoric but we are definitely seeing the rewards of giving him time

by bad about the raul comment also i followed madrid before higz , marcelo and gago came

I will go so far as to say that Benzema is so good that Lyon losing him to Real Madrid mirrors their decline as a European superpower club of the 21st century, to the extent where they can't place higher in a group than a thoroughly rubbish Ajax side.
